    Please learn elementary anatomy and physiology. You don’t have to get a medical degree. High school level knowledge will do.

    Or failing that, learn enough critical thinking skills to be able to tell the difference between a reputable source and a wannabe celebrity influencer who will say anything for attention.

    I don’t have a huge level of knowledge of anatomy or physiology, but I can tell the NHS website is going to have more accurate and trustworthy information than an attention-seeking influencer.
